Swimming in Fresh water or Salt Water?

__________________

Fresh water, because I somehow feel cleaner after dipping in a lake. I have memories of warmer water in the sea though.

Traditional maps or digital maps?

I like maps a lot in general, so I'll say traditional.

Curtains or blinds?

__________________

Blinds, by all means. less overall maintenance

grass and flowers or rock garden?

__________________

They both have their merits, but on the whole I'm pretty sure I'd prefer a flower garden. Both my parents are gardeners (mum does it as a hobby, dad as his work) so though our garden at home is tiny, it's lovely.

Computer/video games or board games?

__________________

Call it an age factor if you will, but I tend to like Board Games the best although I have played video games with my kids (when they were kids)...


Photos in old style photo albums or photos on a flash drive?

__________________

Hmm, I find it hard to choose. Having photos in digital form is certainly more convenient for all sorts of reasons, but I think you value them much more when they're physical. On balance, I guess I'll have to say flash drive though.

Camping - in a tent or a caravan?

__________________

By caravan I assume that you are referring to what we call a trailer here in the states...

When much younger, tenting was the thing, but the last time I slept in a tent was when I was deer hunting by myself back around 1990 or so.

I would opt for a trailer (caravan?) these days. The old bones would appreciate it more, lol...


E-Books or Hard-backed books... (more on this later)

__________________

Real books by far. On paper.

Sweet or savoury?

Very dependent on my mood of course, but in general I have a sweet tooth. Never go without dessert if I can help it.

Would you rather do a skydive or a deep-sea dive?

__________________

Deep sea! The sea is really interesting (if a bit terrifying) and I don't really see the appeal in skydiving.

Libraries or museums?

__________________

Libraries... When I first moved to this city in 1982, the very first day I got a library card and have been a library commissioner and later a Trustee. I now work a good deal with the Archivist there and have built a reputation with the library. Even before I was a Commissioner, I had permission to take home books and other material that were not allowed to the general public,
so, yes... Libraries

I recently went up for my first skydive, unfortunately, the plane was so small and my knees hurt so much that my instructor could not get close enough to me to properly hook up for my tandem skydive. I was ready, but the circumstances prevented it. I have already been checking out another site with larger planes...

And I have snorkeled often over the years in Japan, the Philippines, Midway Island and off of the Southern California coast and scuba'd once in Hawaii.


now for the choices:

sailing (either sail or powered) in a small craft or on an ocean liner...

__________________

Small. I think I've only once been on a really big boat. Even the ferries I've usually been on aren't very big. I suppose an ocean liner could be fun, but to me it's kind of excessive.

Turkey or duck?

__________________

Turkey, by all means... I've had duck and it's ok, but turkey is best IMO...

Riding in Trains or Planes?

__________________

Trains. Much more comfortable.

Gardens or forests?

__________________

Forests. I used to live in the countryside, so that's why.

Old-school cell phones or smart phones?

Smart phone, just as a practical necessity

Rainy days or snowy days?

Snowy Days, don't get many anymore here near the desert...

High-powered cars or economy cars?

__________________

Economy. I don't have much of an opinion on cars, but I don't like things like big SUVs that use lots of fuel.

Travelling abroad or in your home country?

__________________

I like traveling so I'll say that. Though last time I have been abroad was almost a decade ago. I hardly even remember how it was like to be in a jet - maybe someday when I head to Japan I'll know once again.

Geology or biology(as a subject of interest)?
